janimoBenC: can you please revert the Radeon PCI id patch I suggested and it's in .17? While it makes 3D DRI work on said card it also sometimes causes X 99% cpu usage03:05
janimoand sometmes locks on resume03:06
janimoprobbaly more that the ID pacth is needed (mesa,drm module) etc fixes which03:06
janimoare too much for dapper03:06

janimoBenC: ok, there are otther radeon IDs which seem to behave similarly and have bugs in malone.those may need to be reverted too 03:31
janimounless there's a way to blacklist them and not enable dri on them within X03:31
janimoI'll send the mail03:31

infinityBenC: Seriously?04:20
infinityBenC: Did neuro have a fit about that?04:21
KeybukDebian has run our Kernels for ages04:21
Keybuklike, 2 years04:21
BenCthe sparc boxes were always running a custom kernel that I built04:22
BenCso using an ubuntu kernel really isn't much different :)04:22
infinityFair enough.  The hppa buildds are in a similar boat.04:23
infinityBut that's more because lamont's only got time to focus on one kernel at a time.04:23
infinity(Actually the m68k buildd mostly run custom kernels by me too... I often wonder how many of the SCC arch kernels in Debian can do much more than run the installer)04:24
BenCI don't know what is all in the debian 2.6.15 sparc kernel, but all I know is that it's only a 9Meg image, and our sparc kernel is 14megs04:24
infinitys/buildd/buildds/04:24
BenCI'm a little leary of that04:24
infinityBenC: Aren't you still, technically, a Debian sparc porter?  Perhaps you should look at their kernels and make them suck less?04:25
infinity(And yes, I should do the same for Debian arches I care about, but I've always been a custom kernel guy on Debian...)04:25
infinityNever ran a distribution kernel until I started running Ubuntu on my laptop.04:25
BenCsame here04:30
BenCI always ran custom kernels till I became the ubuntu-kernel-guy :)04:30

=== crimsun [i=crimsun@pdpc/supporter/silver/crimsun] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
janimozul, I'm interested in that too05:25
janimoall the tutorials I read so far are scary05:25
janimoif it were specifically written for the occasional ubuntu kernel contributor it would be even better05:25
crimsunthe link to the tutorial on kernel.org/git and wiki.u.c/KernelGitGuide are good starters05:30
crimsunit's probably far easier if you set up a push server ; I have to use git-format-patch05:31
janimocrimsun, I find the commands very low level05:33
janimoI canot set upa push srever for bandwidth reasons05:33
janimoI could not find simple recepies like : cherrypick patch from given repo05:34
janimothose commit names are ugly. reminds me of tla frustrations of 2 years ago :)05:34
crimsunjanimo: have you tried any of cogito, StGIT, etc.?05:34
janimocogito I tried briefly05:35
janimostgit no05:35
janimocrimsun, do you have 5 minutes now to tell me how you use git with alsa?05:37
crimsunsure05:37
janimowhat I have now is git cloned ubuntu tree and ocasionally pull05:37
janimoand beneath same working dir git bracnhes05:37
janimobut from now on not much :)05:38
janimodo you keep all branches under the same directory?05:38
crimsunI generally don't worry about cwd at all05:38
janimoand swicth with gt checkout05:38
crimsunyep05:38
crimsungit branch foo && git checkout foo05:38
=== Keybuk [n=scott@quest.netsplit.com] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
janimogit checkout -b foo05:39
janimo:)05:39
janimohow do you pick pacthes from upstream05:39
janimodo you give the SHA ids?05:39
crimsunoh, I can't do that for ALSA05:39
crimsunfor the HDA work in particular, I have to hand-merge05:40
janimo:(05:40
janimois there some command line query on remote branches05:40
janimosay I want to know diff between ubuntu tree and dri tree for file radeon_dri.c05:40
janimoright now I go to gitweb on kernel.org05:41
janimothat's kind of slow05:41
crimsunhmm, why not just pull in the dri tree as a branch?05:41
janimohmm, I should try that . I was not sure how many upstream branches I can have locally05:42
janimoI mean orig/masters05:42
janimobut since they all should use the same objects underneath it may make sense05:42
janimook so you do have alsa git pulled as a branch too?05:43
crimsunno, but that would probably make a lot of sense, eh? :)05:43
janimo:)05:43
janimorelated: I assume you test your patches by building the kernel05:43
janimohow did you make it not take forever05:44
janimoI touched config/i386/xx.config.disabled05:44
janimofor all but one 05:44
janimobut still seemed to build for hours and i had to stop05:44
crimsunI just rm the ones I don't need05:44
janimolast time I rm-d it did not make debs05:44
janimocannot remember the errors05:44
crimsunoh, that's right, I remember why I don't have alsa git as a local branch05:45
janimoso just rm, no need to touch makefiles or rules?05:45
crimsunall devel work is done in cvs, and jaroslav pushes to git only occasionally05:45
janimosame for dri05:45
janimoso you actually take from cvs now?05:45
crimsunit's just much faster for me to trawl cvsweb and apply what's necessary05:45
janimoyeah05:46
crimsunnope, I don't touch Makefiles or rules05:46
janimothere must be a faster way that's why I think the tutorials are not telling us the whole story05:46
crimsunperhaps zul has pointers :)05:46
janimoyeah, I hope :)05:46
janimodo you also use a smaller config that makeallconfig I assume?05:47
crimsunnope, I use stock05:47
janimooh, doesn;t it take ages to build?05:47
crimsunI have to make sure it at least builds on 68605:47
crimsunoh yes, it takes a good long while05:47
janimoyou make debs with debuild or just plain make the kernel05:48

TMMhi all!10:34
TMMto repost my question from both -devel and -server :10:34
TMMwhat would me the chances of getting iscsi support into the -server kernel before dapper releases? slim? extremely small? near-zero? :) it pretty much doesn't touch any files, it just adds a couple10:35
TMMI only today noticed it isn't in there, and, we (our company) wants to use more ubuntu, and it really should be there (r) I am working on packaging the userspace tools, and, I am using the suse sles9 patchesset as a basis, I can confirm that I am using these very same drivers in a couple of VERY large environments, and they have shown no sign of any breakage10:36
TMMa seperate -source file in universe would be pretty bad imho, even under control of m-a10:36
TMMI am willing to do any heavy-lifting that might be required btw10:42
